<p>Daily Guideposts is 35 years old!  I remember growing up as a child seeing Daily Guideposts books laying around my grandparents home.  This was my introduction to a daily devotional book.  Now almost every Christian author published a yearly devotional series, but Daily Guideposts was the first daily devotional collection.  </p>
<p>Each entry opens up with scripture reading, followed by an inspirational story, along with a closing prayer.  Monthly &#8220;seeds of love&#8221; encourages readers to write down their blessings to keep track of everything to be thankful for.  </p>
<p>This book has over 50 contributors who share stories of how God has worked in their life, their relationships, jobs, and family.  There are stories from authors such as Debbie Macomber, Marion Bond West and Carol Kuykendall along with some new voices in this anniversary edition.</p>

About:</p>
<p>Now in its 35th year, Daily Guideposts has brought inspiration and guidance to millions of readers, selling more than 20 million copies since the devotional series&#8217; debut in 1975 as one of the first daily devotional collections. </p></div>

<p><strong>WINNER </strong><strong>Sherry Gould CONGRATS!!!<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Women at all stages of life will identify with the heart cry that Angela Thomas identifies as she asks God if He knows her—and loves her—just as she is…right now. In each chapter, she asks a different question that only God can answer: questions like <strong>“Do You know I am trembling inside?” “Do You know I am lonely?”</strong> and <strong>“Do You know I am ordinary?” </strong>Each time Angela voices these questions to God, she finds that God’s answer is always “Yes. I know your heart. I see your struggle. <strong>Do you know who I AM?”</strong><br />
<em><br />
Does God realize what he is getting into by using me?<br />
Doesn&#8217;t he know what my weakness&#8217; are?<br />
Does he truly see my sin?</em></p>
<p>These are all questions many of us women face day to day but fear speaking out loud.  Yet these questions shape how we approach God.  <strong>Do You Know Who I Am?</strong> tackles tough issues women face daily and holds them up against powerful biblical teaching.  Authenticity before God, knowing that you are fully known by God but loved unconditionally is powerful. Angela&#8217;s gift of storytelling and her heart for God makes this a must read for all women.</p>

<strong>Rating:</strong> 5 out of 5 stars</li>
<p><strong>Wisdom Walks</strong> covers 40 ways readers can experience God in a fresh way through everyday circumstances.  Each devotional begins with a story from one of the authors, then moves to a key life principle, along with questions for either individual or group study.  This book would is a great devotional to read alongside the book of Proverbs.  <strong>Wisdom Walks</strong> is about passing along a game plan that prepares younger generations for challenges and reveals God&#8217;s truth in relevant ways.</p>
<p>Some of the topics covered are:</p>
<p><em>Engaging God No Matter What<br />
Pay Attention to God&#8217;s little Nudges<br />
Leave The Mark of Jesus<br />
Take Every Thought Captive<br />
Prayer Does Change Things</em></p>
<p>along with many more&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>Wisdom Walks</strong> is great for any age, but this would make a great graduation gift.  I have greatly enjoyed reading each devotional.  It is filled with God&#8217;s word relating to everyday situations.</p>
